Edge of the Red Chamber

It made Jia Mu's old face turn hot, and it's no wonder she thought of others like this. There are not a few people who act like this everywhere, and Lin Yan is not the eldest son, so the rules are naturally relaxed.When Jia Min was seriously ill that day, didn't she also have this idea, thinking that Baoyu and Daiyu would take Daiyu home to support them after they got engaged, but Jia Min disagreed, and she still wanted to take Daiyu home to support her.

However, since the old lady made it clear that she didn't mean that, Jia's mother was also relieved.After all, she is a person who has experienced many accidents. Compared with the old lady, Jia's mother is more tactful and humane.What he thought in his heart didn't show on his face.Hearing this, she said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law, I didn't say that, she's really a good one. Her temper, her behavior, and her way of doing things match up to seven or eight points of my unlucky four girls." , referring to naturally not Xichun, but Jia Min.

A few words, but hit the heart of the old lady.Didn't the old lady just have no children in her life?It was said that the old lady was funny, but in terms of it, Jia Min may not treat her less than Jia Mu.Thinking of Jia Min, Xianshi's heart lightened a little, the power should be for Jia Min's sake, she is also Jia Min's biological mother.Then he nodded and said, "She's a rare one." Afraid that Daiyu would be sad, he said, "You sisters, go and be stubborn." After watching the sisters go, he went on to say, "You She is a blessed person, her children and grandchildren are promising, and her daughter is also a good one. Since Yi'er's mother came in, who in the family does not think of her well?"

When Jia Mu heard this, she became happy and said, "This is also the kindness of your elders. Otherwise, it can't be like this in another family."

Just as she was talking, Mrs. Xu, her mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law came. They had just greeted them, but before they were seated, they said that Mrs. Cui was coming, and got up to greet them again.

Lin Hai came to the door, bowed and said, "Why are you old people here? Can you teach them how to be worthy?"

Mrs. Tai laughed and scolded: "It's because I'm tired of getting old."

Lin Hai hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Where is this talking? I beg you to come and sit around! It's just because of the two juniors, it's hard work for you to run back and forth."

Mrs. Cui wanted to go out for a stroll, but the old lady didn't come out. Only Mrs. Tai came out with her grandson and great-grandson.After hearing this, Mrs. Cui said: "Yi'er is so promising, and his daughter-in-law is really respected and loved. The ancestors are very happy."

Lin Hai, father and son delivered it to Yimen in person, and the old lady inside received the letter and came out to welcome her.When Mrs. Tai saw her, she asked someone to stop her before she got blessed, and said, "We are all elderly people, and our body is the most important thing. Don't worry about these vain etiquettes."

For a while, he said to Lin Hai and the others: "You go, for me alone, it would be bad if you neglected the distinguished guests." Lin Hai, father and son, agreed, and still waited for Mrs. Tai to go in and walk a little further before turning back.

The old lady asked what she meant, and then led Mrs. Cui to the theater.None of the people present here are as senior as her, so they stopped the play for a while, and all got up to give way.

Mrs. Cui Tai didn't have an imperial seal, but when she saw that there was an imperial seal, she said, "It's up to me to salute you."

Mrs. Xu rushed up to say hello, and said, "Aren't you sincerely cutting my life?" Then she laughed and said, "My nephew and nephew's daughter-in-law are decent, if I change them, I won't be able to invite them. "

All the edicts also said that they should not be accepted, and they tried their best to stop it, but it was difficult for Mrs. Cui Tai.Here, only Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Xu are of the same rank and are the elders, so she said: "If you are still so polite and refuse to sit, we will all have to accompany you. Isn't it embarrassing for the in-laws if the people in this room stand?"

After Jia's mother said so, Mrs. Cui gave up just now, and everyone reassembled their seats.Naturally, Mrs. Cui is in the center, and Jiamu and the old lady are accompanying each other. They are all in the shape of crabapple, plum blossom, lotus, sunflower, lotus leaf, etc. There are square ones and round ones.Under the old lady is Mrs. Xu, and the rest of the people should be lined up one by one.

Seeing Mrs. Cui was there, Mrs. Tai said: "Come out today, it's so easy to enjoy it, you go."

Mrs. Zhao also laughed and said, "I'm here, sister-in-law still doesn't trust me?"

Mrs. Cui laughed and said, "I'm waiting for you to speak?" Everyone laughed, and then some people who knew her called her, and Mrs. Cui went to sit and talk together.

Outside, Lin Lang handed the playbooks in, and the maid gave them to Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao gave them to Mrs. Tai, who asked Mrs. Tai to order a play. After Mrs. Tai ordered one, she handed it to Mother Jia, who ordered it again. As soon as it came out, I asked someone to bring it to Mrs. Xu. Because Mrs. Xu said that she liked to watch them all, she just chose the good ones and sang them.

There is another group of small operas in another small hall. Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu lead Sanchun over. Just after tea, they heard Cui's family came, so they came over to say hello.

Mrs. Tai called the two of them to her, looked them up and down, and said, "I've grown taller and fatter."

Lin Daiyu touched her face and said with a smile: "Isn't it just after the Chinese New Year?"

Mrs. Tai knew that she was embarrassed, so she asked: "Are you going to watch a show here with me, or go somewhere else?"

Before Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu spoke, Cui Jiayi said: "There is no place for us here, so we should go elsewhere."

Mrs. Tai laughed and scolded: "You are afraid that if you are here with us, I will arrest you?"

When the sisters left, Mrs. Tai said to the old lady: "When they consummate their marriage, you will have a big event."

The old lady said: "No, good things take a long time. I thought about it a few years ago, and I didn't think about the exam until the middle of the year. This is also a lifelong event. Thanks to the girl Xian, I told her, but she didn't think about it. Come and persuade me."

Mrs. Tai sighed, and said: "You should enjoy the blessings. They are so filial, and when they have free time, they can just go out and look around. I am so old, I want to go out and walk around when I have nothing to do. It's just that people hate me everywhere. I don't care, anyway, no one will scold me in front of my face, and I won't hear anyone scolding me behind my back."

Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Xu said: "Look at what you said. In the past, when I invited you, you refused to come out. I know you were afraid of laboring us. Now you say such petty words again, is this what we are? If you always want to say something like this, you should say it behind our backs, how can you say something wrong in front of people?"

The crowd couldn't stop laughing, Wang Xifeng laughed and said: "Please post the post tomorrow to invite Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai is not allowed to go." Several wives and grandmas said: "That's exactly what I said."

Mrs. Tai smiled and shook her head again and again, and said to Mrs. Xu: "In the past, the family was used to talking and talking. When they heard me say something wrong about them, they didn't dare to argue with me. They just pretended not to hear it. At home. It’s your words, you shouldn’t say it in front of people, no, I don’t agree with you. I’m an old bone, and I go from house to house, and I won’t fall apart until tomorrow.”

Before he could finish his sentence, the whole room roared with laughter, several wives and grandmas knocked over their tea bowls, and some people complained that their intestines hurt and asked the maid to rub their stomachs.

Mrs. Zhao laughed for a while, and was busy arranging for the wives and grandma who had dirty clothes to change their clothes.

Mrs. Cui wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said: "Our old lady was always a joker when she was young. In the past few years, she likes to watch her grandchildren laugh and laugh. She doesn't joke anymore, and she is happy today."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu said: "It's time for us juniors to make Mrs. Tai happy."

Jia's mother couldn't stop laughing. Wang Xifeng came up to rub her chest and rubbed her back. Jia's mother said: "That's exactly what I said. When I was young, I was also a talkative and laughing person. I have grown older in recent years, and my spirit has become more and more weak. But Eat two bites if you can chew, sleep a night, and joke with these grandchildren when you are bored."

Mrs. Tai waved her hand, smiled and said to the people next to her: "I'm here, and she has the nerve to say old things. If she says I'm old, then I won't be that old and immortal?"

Someone said: "This is the blessing of your two elders, and no one else can compare it." While speaking, Cairo was beating drums and singing on the other side of the stage, and everyone began to watch the play.

Grandma Cui wanted to sit with Lu Huishan, but she looked around but saw no one, so she pulled a little maid and asked, "Where is Grandma Xu?"

The little maid was just bringing water, how could she know this, she raised her eyes and saw the two daughters-in-law of the deacon, she hurriedly yelled.When the two turned around and saw Mrs. Cheng, one of them rushed forward to say hello, and asked, "What do you want grandma to do?"

Mrs. Cheng asked again, and the daughter-in-law laughed and said, "My aunt has gone to our grandma's house. Why don't grandma go too, and I'll ask a little girl to show grandma the way?"

Hearing that their sisters were together, they thought they had something private to say, and others didn't like it, so they said, "No need, I just don't see her, so I'm just asking, you go and do your work." I sat in a place I had acquainted with on weekdays.After a while, a servant girl came over and said, "Our grandma and aunt asked grandma to come over and talk."

Lin Daiyu went back three times, and a group of people waited. They met again, and asked about their ages if they didn't know each other.After a joking session, everyone got to know each other well, Tan Chunyin and Cui Jiayi said: "If Sister Yun comes, you two will be fine."

Cui Jiayi didn't know which one was mentioned, so she asked: "I don't know which one is it? Do I recognize it?"

Tanchun pointed at Daiyu and Zhang Feng'e, and said, "Sister Cui only needs to ask Sister Lin and Sister Zhang to know that they have also met Sister Yun."

Daiyu said she was the daughter of Zhongjinghou Shi's eldest family, and Cui Jiayi knew about it, so she said with a smile: "I'll see you some other day, we must get to know each other well."

Tanchun said, "That's easy. In a few days, it will be the second brother's birthday. Sister Yun will naturally come too. Then, please invite Sister Zhang and Sister Lin to have a drink together."

Because the two families had no relationship, Cui Jiayi didn't answer the call.Lin Daiyu knew that it was inconvenient for her to reply, so she smiled and said, "The family is so busy these days, I actually forgot."

If it's their sister's birthday, please Cui Jiayi or return it.If it is Baoyu, it is not appropriate.Tanchun also knew that what she said just now offended Cui Jiayi, and seeing that she was not surprised and still joking with him, he couldn't help liking her even more.Just now, he said without mentioning: "There are many relatives. A family can be as small as a few people or as many as dozens of people. Who remembers coming?"

I don't know which family's young lady went out to relieve herself, and when she heard this, she said strangely: "That's the reason, and the maids and mothers around you didn't remind me?"
